- The 42-year-old driver who allegedly caused the fatal multi-vehicle crash in Tampines has been arrested for dangerous driving causing death. His driving licence has been suspended. Eight people were taken to hospital, including the driver of a black car which was seen on various online videos crashing into other vehicles at high speed. Two people subsequently died. Police say the driver was discharged from hospital on Apr 24 and subsequently arrested. Alxis Thng reports.
*The reckless driver must be charged with highest maximum sentence*
The question is what are you doing here
@@jessicaregina1956 U scared of the maximum sentence Huh 😁
@@jessicaregina1956I hate bots like you
The question is what are you doing here
@@jessicaregina1956 Dont Cha 😁
Should be jail sentence for the rest of his life .
That is not for us to decide. Feelings is one thing, what is rational may be different.
Generally I find it better, if the victims or their families are supported, and the culprit could do something to help with that.
I would like to hear what caused the man driving so erratic, ignoring a red-light, and driving fully frontal into oncoming traffic.
What for? And waste taxpayer's money to support him.
It won't unless if it's drug related cases. Singapore law. 😂
@@lep1792 What makes me sometimes upset is, if someone's touches a woman at the butt he might go 2 years behind bars. If a driver kills someone, it's dangerous driving. Normally it's then "lost control" or "speeding". As if it happened as a kind of undesired result of some mistake.
they say they got medical condition how to jail?
Court should charge him under culpable homicide and not reckless driving!
if the family of the deceased and affected families those cannot afford to file a lawsuit against this driver - we should all pool together a crowdfund and engaged a lawyer on behalf of the affected families to file a lawsuits against this driver. Make sure he will be in jail for the rest of this life.
it's time to change the laws. anyone who causes death by dangerous or drunk driving, should be charged with pre-meditated murder.
Agreed...!!!👍
trust me laws will never change, year after year is the same.
That makes no sense
Uh you know what pre-meditated murder is?
Who knows... Many things can happened and things will changed, just like law and order..
Wait 2years then we will see the court sentence him 2 years prison because he go court then cry and say he got depression because his mother fall down, and his uncle pregnant and he very stressed
2 years still got deductions one I heard😂
He speeding to imh get treatment that day.
Last driver who caused similar multiple car collisions with 1 death and oso at Tampines got 7 years.
Uncle pregnant 😂
Should sentence longer ,if not these idiots won learn
Injustice court nowadays
WHO is the driver? I think the people who died need more privacy, not the Driver!
if it is Local.............u Sinkies will stop commenting and will cover ur own kind wrong doing and play victim say the other driver was not alert never check their surrounding etc
if rumours that the driver from China etc u will make so much noise until forcing media to name the driver
normal typical attitude of Sinkies behaviour
@@vibr0314the driver will get the same amount of hate even if they are singaporean, what are you on?
@@zejiantan5291 look at the comment u sinkies like to play victim and most keep spreading rumours the Driver is foreign Talent driver....so what are u on then either u blind and never read the rest of the comment or ignore it
thanks CNA for deleting my comment
@@zejiantan5291 what make u think the comment say otherwise?still saying FT so what are u on?who do u think give u a lot of like from ur comment btw
Its his freedom that needs to be suspended not his license
Arrested does not mean anything. Have to order him kneel down infront of the tombs of the deceased and apologise to the family. Singapore social studies failed
In Taiwan the police will bring the driver to the wake to apologise
If Singaporean, our media will say it out loud. If PR, will say local, if foreigner will hush hush.
@@eventhorizon3117Then put him in jail for 3 months or release him immediately.
Go ahead and create your own law
The Singapore govt need to be firm in sentencing such reckless drivers if not more people will be killed on the roads. If this happen to your own family members, how would you feel?
We demand justice.
reveal the driver's identity. What is the point of hiding his identity?
Well, if Singaporean, our media will say it out loud. If PR, will say "local", if foreigner will hush hush.
Because of the "what if" scenario. What if its really the accelerator malfunction caused by the sideswipe. Or maybe he had heart attack upon sideswiping. Or stroke causes the right leg to freeze up.
@@youtuberschannel12 normal typical Sinkies comment always like to blame Foreign Talent act as if Sinkies are angel driver never want to admit that it is one of them instead and play victim

dangerous driving ? not manslaughter?
Road traffic act has enhanced provision for dangerous driving causing death
Accidental killing ?
Should have been charged with murder
PAP needs to keep the price of COE high. That's why our traffic law is so lax.
@@kierangan7944 Manslaughter rather than murder
2 dead
And only license suspended ?
The speed he driving seems he beat red light purposely
Even if the dude get maximum, its only 8 years in traffic violation if im not wrong unless they charge him with DUI and homicide, its unlikely he will get more than 10 years. But then again he did injure the officer of the police coast guard and killed the daughter so still got chance
the perpetrator ALWAYS survive and the innocent ones perish, I don't understand the science behind this
Falken world
Well in this case it's likely because the front of the car acts as a crumple zone, absorbing some impact, so the driver survived, while the cars that he smashed into got whacked from the side, which is more or less just the car door protecting the passenger. Driver also has front airbags, while passengers may or may not have had any on the side.
Because unless if it's drug cases then can jailed many2 years.
The real science is by Swedish inventor Nils Bohlin developing for Volvo. But for the unproven science, you need to question Allah / Jesus / guanyinma when you have the chance. Sadly in this very world, evil people tend to live longer than the average.
But the perpetrator lives a lifetime of guilt.
Caused deaths, damage to numerous vehicles, emotion trauma, lost of abilities to work, serious major traffic holdup, etc. I don't think suspend driving license will do. Shall wait for proper sentencing.
What the about the Merc driver who indirectly contributed by purposely accelerating due to ego and helping to increase the speed of the Saab.. he also tailgated dangerously behind a bike.. he should be charged and get off the road too before someone gets killed...
Just because it's a Merc and you are envious you can never afford one in your lifetime?
@@xdivineomegax either u must be related to the driver or the driver himself. The fact that u speak so highly of a Merc shows you are living a cheap life. Anyone can buy a merc. Too many in sg roads. In any case i drive a better car. Two innocent people died and u are talking about affordability of a Merc. I sympathize with your lack of emotions and the respect for the victims, your lack of knowledge and wealth and your "low-life" attitude.

42 year old mid life crisis early onset.
would want to see what type of justice to be served. 2 life lost because of a reckless driver act.
If he is not on drugs or alcohol, it will probably be 1-3 years years at most
In 2018,a 27 year old Chinese national who drove a lorry without a class 3 driver's licence and no insurance killed 3 people at a bus stop at yio chu kang rd due to his speeding,got away with a $1400 fine and a year suspension from driving. That's how crazy our justice system is. Makes me angry reading that.

Talk cock. Everyone agrees that taxi drivers are the most reckless people on the road alright?
some of u still drive fast and reckless coz want to change "shift"

My condolences to the families who had lost their loved ones in this fatal accident
This is murder. Manslaughter is when you unintentionally, but this person obviously knew what he was doing and purposely sped up and hit those cars.
That is all? People’s life is lost and. Just suspension of licence?
He murdered two people due to his recklessness. Unbelievable.
The Singapore law:
Nah, we would suspend him
and send other 7 to hospital.what is the status of others.the late gal's father still hospitalised due to back and kidney injuries.man hope those victims sue this mtf till drop

@@jameslim3850 you think this driver should be offed?
Sentence him life sentence or death sentence
Justice must be properly served ….regardless of race, language or religion. No double or triple standard please!👌🏼
That 42 year old SAAB driver is facing 8 civil law suits against 6 injured + 2 deceased. If the High court give this 42 year old driver a very light sentence, then we probably know who to vote for in the next GE❤
He'll be OUT Before U know it
SG Has JURASSIC laws
it doesnt need to be political lol. it's a sad case of negligent manslaughter, adding a political spin on it is bad behavior. let's hope for peace for the victim's families.
First time offender
2 to 8 years’ jail; and Disqualified from driving for at least 10 years
(Offenders convicted of dangerous driving AND either driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol or failing to provide a breath/blood specimen)
Extra 1 to 2 years’ jail in addition to the punishment
Repeated offender
4 to 15 years’ jail; and Disqualified from driving for at least 10 years
(Offenders convicted of dangerous driving AND either driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol or failing to provide a breath or blood specimen, where the offender has previously been convicted at least once of either driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol or failing to provide a breath/blood specimen)
Extra 2 to 4 years’ jail in addition to the punishment
If you were expecting death sentence or something. I'm sorry to say Singapore Laws doesn't work that way. Because this is still considered under Road Traffic Act
Keep politics out of judiciary decisions. Unless there is an error in the policy, no need to make this political.
its not about the high court but party who controls the medias to manipulate people.
What a tragic loss of lives! Esp for the young girl who has so many good years ahead of her!!!
This is so heart breaking...
Why was his name not published ?
cuz he’s not proven guilty in court yet; his identity has to be protected till then unfortunately
@TheKathyyroland no such thing. Once he is charged, the papers can report. The police is not obliged to reveal anything on investigations
Protect kee lun la why you think diplomatic immunity ah

he better be charged with murders, having so many people being involved in the accident.
He must be charged with 2 counts of culpable homicide and receive maximum penalty of 20 years for each count as he was totally reckless and had no regard for other human beings
I am also interested in actual news, like graphics of what happened, estimated speed of driver, which cars travelling on which directions were involved, the science of it, how damaged were the cars, the make of the cars, the injuries per car, based on skid marks analysis etc... not the face of the victim who is marketable for compassion only, your reporting is making the PUBLIC Outpouring of grief the main goal
The MERCEDES DRIVER should be investigated too
Your mom should be investigated.
surprisingly the Spain murder suspect is named, but this saab driver with all the clear videos of his driving prowess still protected by the press. not even one picture at the hospital. wow!
Different jurisdictions and also our media will never be as bold as to release names without confirmation from spf. However I seem to recall that with similar traffic accidents in the past we usually get the names of all involved.
Coming. Once he's charged, the papers will report.
Related to the LEE family ?
maybe this driver is PRC ?? PAP scared of China we all know.
Very likely, yes...!!!😏
Those that are irresponsible and reckless ought to be caught and punished, just like the administrator of "wake up, singapore" who lied about the KKH miscarriage. His name is ariffin sha.
Not only reckless and dangerous but also INTENTIONAL!!!
Yes, terror act should receive heavy punishment
Here is my analysis: i think he was looking at the rear view mirror to check on the merc. He did not see the red light. That was the problem. He was not trying to beat it - the lorry was already stationary at the traffic junction, which meant the light had been red for a while. He was speeding away from the merc to avoid detection, likely because he already has a record of prior traffic rule violations.
The driver should be charged for culpable homicide
Totally agree
Life imprisonment w/o parole + 12 strokes of cane
I hope the law can be even more stricter in this respect. R.i.p. to these innocent victims
Evil male driver .Justice need to be served with max sentence and vehicle confiscated too
Just curious, why is the public so eager to know the name of the perpetrator? Shouldnt they just be concerned that he must be punished accordingly to the law if he is found guilty. As such, there is no need to disclose his name as it is not a necessary information that the public need to know. the only information that people need to know is that justice is served and the perpetrator answers for his crime.
-
Seem to me, some people in the public require the name is because of their hidden agenda such as to either criticise the govt of their policies (if he is a foreigner) or harass and shame the perpetrator and his family (some people are such petty and have all the time of the world to do such things).
Or spread their “minority” bs
This is for record keeping and decision-making. The name has clues to profiles. Sometimes stereotypical, may be partly accurate sometimes but not all the time. Yes the reason is to criticise the gov, because undoubtedly one of the cause is Capitalism ! Living in the 2nd most densely populated country in the world, statistics shows that mental illness is getting detected at a high level even among kids these days. so people has an agenda. Including you and me.
Ban him from taking public transport too . Walk or cycle to everywhere after he released from prison. Ban his name from registering with driving centers
The Singapore government need to be firm in sentencing such reckless drivers if not more people will be killed on the roads. If this happen to your own family members, how would you feel?
Max punishment for Reckless driving is 8 years? Ridiculous law. Need to be change or maybe govt too.
This is not a simple case. Police need to consider some other things like what is the motive.
*Wondering if this case can be classified as Accidental Killing and whats the punishment?*
Nowsaday very scary to drive in sg a lot reckless driver and selfish drivers.
reveal his name and identity thank you
Reveal his country of birth too, this will confirm he is Singaporean or imitation singaporean
@@huangerli7215 already been done!

Why not charges driver for Culpable homicide ? The jail term will be longer for those would be offenders, that also serves as effective deterrence.
Crash until like that how come the culprit didnt die but the victim dies? Not fair!😮😢
Same thought here.
there's no airbag in passenger's seat, probably not belted as well
But why drive into a busy intersection at speed? Why did he do that ?
R.I.P to all people who died may you rest in peace
More info about the culprit should be revealed like his employment, if any and company where he works.
This would give a clearer profile why he behaved like that.
For the prevention of such cases from Happening.
The law must change to Penalty by Capital punishment.
Once this law is in place, no one would be driving recklessly.
Since it would be a Capital Punishment
Driver should be charged with homicide or frustrated murder he knew he is heading to junction he kept speeding.
It's a terrorist attack
Victims' families can ask for cloud funding to sue this driver for personal damages. It would be Sg vs Driver! This will make sure that all Singaporeans will be safe from this driver in future.
How come his licence is only suspended It must be revoked as deaths were involved.
My deepest condolences to their families. May their souls rest in peace.
42 year old driver violates the traffic rules for reckless driving death by negligent act!
"Driving licensed has been suspended" oh wow geez thanks CNA. Who would have thought about that. Say something so obvious for what!?
Condolences to the families and friends 😥
Reckless drivers have been on increasing in Singapore, can be seen with raging horns upon just slight slower cars in front, these drivers must be punished by harsh law to prevent further escalation causing accidents
i remember during my school days, we were taught to cross the road when green man light up. nowadays, it's not that simple
You have to look left and right first. Now yes no so simple, because people looking into the phones, and living in the most densely populated country in the world, electric bikes being common on footpaths, various other reasons.
2 innocent lives lost and this demon driver may get away with only a few years in jail and some fines. At the speed it was going, fatal injury would result if crashed. The driver should be charged with murder and should not be allowed bail.
any chance that cause by “sudden acceleration” instead of reckless driving?
In the face of crisis, singaporeans are united. let us honor the victims that brought us together and we can overcome any adversity that comes. The driver must make amends for the rest of his life, not just for the next eight years, for he has robbed two lives for eternity.
Traffic police sleeping I heard them
Can this be consider as second degree murder?
Will be OUT Of Changi Resort even b4 U know it
My heart goes to the victims..i have a gal age 18 and i live very close to the spot of the accident and pass by it to take train to work...i cannot comprehen or digest this news..May Allah forgive the sins of the 2 ladies and give them Jannah❤ 😢🤲🤲
That driver killed the daughter of the police coast guard officer and injured him.
I have never seen someone so cooked before in my life.

It’s hush hush, because it’ll spark a debate, “how he got his driving license here?”

Prevention is better than cure. LTA should penalize speeding offenders with life imprisonment and caning. In addition it should be mandatory for all vehicles to install speed limiters. Thus Singapore will have the world's safest road with near zero fatal accident cases.

Online videos shows Everything, He was Speeding with No intention to STOP....
Generally true, but his intentions is still unknown. The circumstances is still a mystery.
Put him in jail for a long time (5⁰year)
This driver should be dealt severely by the law.
Why is it that Singapore still has not implemented vehicular manslaughter law yet? The idea of punishment and penalties is also to act as a deterrent. Unfortunately such deterrents are already bordering on just merely "a slap on the wrist" in current society/environment. Many drivers and road users nowadays are more willing to take the risk of speeding or breaking the laws, knowing that the most they get is probably just a few months in Changi, or fine and banned from driving.... provided that they get caught. And let's not forget Singapore 2/3 remission terms... In other words, It's losing its effectiveness and no longer serve as an effective deterrent in current society and environment. Our laws and penalties need to be updated accordingly, not just increasing jail term length or increasing fine amount. Start with enacting vehicular manslaughter bill into our current legislation. This is not the first, nor will it be the last we hear of errant speeding drivers and other road users making the news. Not too long ago, we have 2 other accident news, 1 of a driver knocking over a student at a zebra crossing within a school zone. Another of a lorry knocking down 2 students. In addition, our government also wants to control the vehicle population right? Then adopt a multi prong approach.... Its not just about the reducing COE quota or increasing road taxes and ERP. Enact stricter law and implement vehicular manslaughter bill as well. Make driving unappealing, too rigid/strict and not so cost effective so that ppl will think twice about driving. Imagine the amount of land we'll get back from reducing our road network and what they can be used for in future...
Where is this Tampines ?? So very sad RIP 🙏 😢
The maximum sentence is eight years only?!?!?!? How many years of life has he robbed of his two victims????
Eight or two victims
two deaths.... even 10 years jail term is too kind to him...... but he will probably bet away with a ban, fine and few months jail time at most?
Also justice for those sustaining injuries.. this is so devastating
send him to jail to max possible years
Suspension means will get reinstated given time? Probably a small fine and some jail term.
Homicidal, reckless driving act... time to change the law., commensurate with drug life penalty. Those injured and immobilised is also a burden to the system. Tough laws bear good sense.
Riding & Driving should become a privilege and not an entitlement. The roads these days are becoming a real death trap.
Always have been. Numerous deaths in every year statistics.
Thats not dangerous..thats LIFE THREATENING...no need to be subtle to inhumane individuals...
Allegedly?? Dash cam show other wise!!
Condolences to those who lost loved ones and may justice prevailed.
why the media do not want to reveal who is the reckless driver wat kind of bias is diz 😡😡😡😡
His lawyer will come up with good excuses to get him a lighter sentence...
1) he has a clean driving history
2) he feared for his life as he says someone was out to kill him
3) anything else???
